D Plover Comments: Having looked at this often, I realise that the most startling thing about this cover is not the anxious bird man, the three arsed lady or the giant foot, but the super-neon numeral 4 that’s blasting out of the cover!

Good Show Sir’s Art Direction: Self published? Well I mean we could try to make it look good or… we could just slap on a large transparent women’s head in the midst of a country sunrise. I wonder what though…

Jaouad’s Art Direction: This book is so awesome, there’s only one way to sell it: give it an awesome glittering metallic dustjacket, so everyone is blinded by its awesomeness. Also, make sure no one can read the author’s name.
